Slig

Sligs are a sapient species found on Oddworld, serving as security and personal assistants to the Magog Cartel. Even though Sligs generally enjoy what they do, they are essentially still slaves to the Magog Cartel. The Slig queen provides the cartel with her young and any Sligs that do not perform to acceptable standards are sent to face her wrath. Sligs were originally primitive and simple living creatures who preferred swampy regions, living in bodies of water such as bogs and lakes. However, when the Glukkons first encountered them, they turned out to be a sentient species. The Glukkons were able to easily negotiate that if the Sligs would work for them, they could grant them mechanical aids for easy mobility, which they reluctantly accepted. In return for the robotic Slig Pants that grant them the ability to walk, Sligs have pledged their loyalty to the Glukkon Industrialists as henchmen and bodyguards. In truth, much of the Glukkon success has been achieved by the Slig's combat capabilities. However, it's shown that their strength only lies in vast numbers and weaponry. Also, individual Sligs are much weaker than Mudokons in natural strength as shown when Abe can easily lift a Slig and throw him into the meat grinder easily or outrun and outjump any Sligs that attack him. Although most Sligs serve as security or basic law enforcement, some Sligs can acquire more unorthodox jobs such as journalists, newscasters, valets, and pilots.
